UPDATE
Hypothermia Abnormally low body temperature often
associated with exposure to cold and windy
environments
< 35c (95f) shivering, slow and shallow
breathing, weak pulse, Changes to mental
status, pale, cool, waxy skin
Prevention: trend vs, appropriate layers,
warmed fluids
,Hyperthermia especially high
fever; hyperpyrexia
Flushed, Hot, Poor
appetite, N/V/D,
Tachycardia, Tachypnea, Fatigue, weakness, ⬇
responsiveness
Prevention: Trend Vs, Monitor infection /
Inflammation, Adequate fluid intake,
lightweight clothing
heat stroke symptoms emperature over 104°F (), hot/dry skin or
profuse sweating, confusion, rapid pulse,
nausea, and potential unconsciousness.
Immediate, life-threatening symptoms
include seizure, delirium, and slurred
speech.
heat exhaustion symptoms - Cool/moist skin
- Nausea/vomiting
- Weakness
- Dizziness/lightheaded
, - Excessive Sweating
Temperature A measure of how hot (or cold) something
is; specifically, a measure of the average
kinetic energy of the particles in an
object.
Temperature thermoregulation -temp decreases over course of development
-thermoregulation one of the most
important adaptation responses of infants
during transition from intra to
extrauterine life
pressure injury (1) localized damage to the skin and
underlying tissue that usually occurs over a
bony prominence or is related to the use of a
(medical or other) device; (2) any lesion
caused by unrelieved pressure that results in
damage to underlying tissue; formerly
known as pressure ulcer
Stages of pressure injuries Stage 1: nonblanchable erythema of intact skin
Stage 2: partial-thickness skin loss with exposed
dermis
Stage 3: full-thickness skin loss; not involving
